The Wayanad Prakrithi Samrakshana Samithi (WPSS) has opposed the Kerala government's acquisition of Ambukuthi forest land for a new medical college.

This highlights the tension between developmental projects and environmental conservation, a critical issue for governance and ecology topics in exams. The case also underscores the legal and procedural challenges in land acquisition, which is a key area for UPSC and state PSC exams.
